The approach for the soft-field landing is similar to the normal approach. The major difference between the two is that a degree of power is used throughout the level-off and touchdown for the soft-field landing so as to control the descent rate all the way to touch down. VS0 should be used.

Once stable in ground effect, the pilot shut down EPU1 (left-side outboard) to simulate the performance in the case of an engine failure. The second pilot put on protective gear and approached the aircraft with a “high-voltage trained hook man” to shut down the electrical systems. A vertical descent rate of 19.5

As you approach the airport, monitor UNICOM for landing or departing traffic. Another performance factor is the approach speed. The slower the approach, the shorter the landing distance. Many aircraft have specific recommended normal and short-field approach speeds. It will allow you to fine-tune your approach.

As the aircraft approaches the target airspeed, add power to ensure you don’t slow down past it. Climbs and Descents During Slow Flight It’s counterintuitive, but pitching up will not result in a climb during slow flight. Flying Too Fast Students are often wary of approaching the stall speed.

Approaching Rifle The last six minutes of Shmulik’s flight are plotted on the following map. For each data point you can see the time stamp, the altitude MSL, the Ground Speed in kt, and the Vertical Velocity in feet per minute (fpm). Shmulik flew quite fast at ground speeds between 100 and 130 kt, carrying a lot of extra energy.

This broad scope approach is ultimately needed to help keep our friends, created in the image of God, alive. This approach gives perspective on all factors, including those that might otherwise be ignored or unrecognized. An incomplete summary description of FASF is whether the airplane made it out of ground effect.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. Resist pulling back, instead letting it accelerate in ground effect (or should we say water effect) for a few seconds.
